You and I have a different view of a "traditional DT" in passing downs. For me it is four DL with their hands down getting ready to tear after the QB. We put two DL down. I don't see that as the same.

When you advocate moving to a 4-3, you discuss Woodley as a DE. On passing downs, you often see Woodley - Hood - Keisel - Harrison. Whether or not Woodley's hand is on the ground, Hood is playing a DT position and is charged with rushing the passer.

If we stick with the 3-4 the max we can win is one more Super Bowl. However, since we broke the chain by going to the 3-4 if we go back to the 4-3 we reset the count and we can win four more. It all just aligns perfectly.

I don't know why some of you can't figure these things out.

I'm following your logic.

we won 4 Super Bowls with the 4-3, so we're destined to win 3 more Super Bowls with the 3-4.

since we've only won 2 Super Bowls with the 3-4 so far, let's wait for the inevitable one more Lombardi Trophy and then re-visit this discussion at that time.

But you are missing the key dynamic. When were a "Steel Curtain" we had four men and that was truly a curtain. With three men you can't be a "Steel Curtain." All you can really be anything more than an aluminum mini-blind. Just doesn't work in the same traditional sense.
